Style is what you make of it…

Today I was reminded about how judgemental people can be about ones sense of style.

If you’re not being criticised for following trends, then you’re criticised for not following enough trends or being too different or being too common or better yet not having a sense of style at all. There is just no winning, so why not put on that one accessory that makes you feel like nothing else or anyone else really matters but you and keep doing you boo! Someday they will all get it…

For me, the Kimono look does this effortlessly! #ModernBohemianClassApproved

Brogues have officially become my go to shoe style when I go shopping lately. There is just something about this low-heeled shoe traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations that just command style authority. Its the vintage, bohemian & modern combo found in this shoe style that keeps fueling my obsession for brogues. Oh and definitely the minimal yet detailed look that speaks volume when worn.

This is why I have decided to make this my signature accessory when I start my new job in December. here’s to climbing the corporate ladder in style! #ForTheLoveOfBrogues

SO…. I have decided to start embracing my natural hair and truly embracing the notion that “your hair is your crown”. Styling it is quite a mission and one hell of a challenge but I’m up for the challenge #naturalalltheway #naturalhairROCKS #AfroChicMeetsBohemianChic #ThatsMeBelow 🙂

So I’m currently trying to re-decorate my home. Hubby and I honestly haven’t done anything to spice up our decor since we moved in last year. We basically moved in and settled in and now I for one am itching to give our some personality. ..

What better way to do this than add some authentic bohemian pieces, together with modern contemporary pieces to give it the ultimate Modern Bohemian Style afterall, style is what you make of it…

This week I’m “crushing” on Bazaar • {Bohemian} (http://www.bazaarbohemian.com/), designed by Vanessa Wright. This lady is all things Bohemian. She lives and breathes the bohemian lifestyle in the most authentic & intriguing way! Vanessa Wright is also the founder of Project Tribe – A social movement or forum “where people express their uniqueness and sense of community in an agglomerate of tasks, all for a common goal: Care for one another”.

In Vanessa’s words, Bazaar • {Bohemian} • is “A place where all of my passions, and creative ventures collide……A journey filled with kaleidoscopes of prints, patterns, and colors…While on this journey, I make sure to take each and every day…to honor the energies that created me…I truly understand my purpose in Life is to spread an excessive amount of #PositiveLoveEnergy in this world…The same passion I exude for inner inspiration…Is the same passion I exude for the external inspiration… I believe the clothing and accessories we adorn ourselves with should be a reflection of that same Spirit…” (http://www.bazaarbohemian.com/).I absolutely adore and support her cause! #InspiredForDays
